08 Dec A note on the Factorial Function

Write down 0,1,2,3,4,5 and put parallely square of each number like 0,1,4,9,16,25, then start to subtract the bigger one to the lower one (1--0),(4--1),(9--4),(16--9) and (25--16) to get 1,3,5,7,9 and again subtract the bigger one to the lower one (3--1),(5--3),(7--5) and (9--7) to get (2,2,2,2).

Again we squared each number, at the same time we cubed each number (0,1,8,27,64,125,216) and the same procedure follows, subtract the bigger one to the lower one (1--0),(8--1),(27--8),(64--27) ,(125--64) and(216--125) to get (1,7,19,37,61,91) and again (7--1),(19--7),(37--19),(61--37) and (91--61), to get (6,12,18,24,30) same again(12--6),(18--12),24--18) and (30--24) till the result come out here we get (6,6,6,6).

At the same time if we do it again for 4 and 5 (power).When we get 2 for 2 ,6 for 3 ,24 for 4 and 120 for 5. The result is the factorial function.
